ARC at Bradley: Improper Transfer Causes Fracture - IL
The resident, identified in inspection records as R2, required two staff members and a mechanical lift for safe transfers. That was not what happened.
Inspectors reviewed the facility's own addendum to a May 15 State Survey Agency report documenting an unknown injury. The addendum was direct: R2's fracture was caused by an improper transfer carried out by a facility staff member.
The facility's transfer policy, updated as recently as December 2025, states that mechanical lifting devices shall be used for any resident who needs a two-person assist. The stated purpose of that policy is to protect the safety and well-being of residents and staff, and to promote quality care.
R2's care plan already reflected the two-person mechanical lift requirement. The protocol existed. The equipment existed. The policy had been rewritten five months before the injury.
Inspectors cited the violation as causing actual harm.
What that means for R2, a person dependent on others to move safely through the day, is a broken bone that did not have to happen.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
